Consider the following reaction :

2Ag+C6H12O6+H2O→2Ag(s)+C6H12O7+2H+2\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{g}^ + }{\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_{12}}{\mathrm{O}_6} + {\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{O} \to 2\mathrm{Ag}\left( s \right) + {\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_{12}}{\mathrm{O}_7} + 2{\mathrm{H}^ + }

When ammonia is added to the solution, pH is raised to 11. Which half-cell reaction is affected by pH and by how much?

Ag++e−→Ag;Ered∘=0.8V\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{g}^ + } + {e^ - } \to \mathrm{Ag};E_{\mathrm{red}}^ \circ = 0.8\mathrm{V}

C6H12O6+H2O→C6H12O7+2H++2e−;Ered∘=−0.05V{\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_{12}}{\mathrm{O}_6} + {\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{O} \to {\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_{12}}{\mathrm{O}_7} + 2{\mathrm{H}^ + } + 2{e^ - };E_{\mathrm{red}}^ \circ = - 0.05\mathrm{V}

Ag(NH3)2++e−→Ag(s)+NH3;Ered∘=0.337V\mathrm{Ag}\left( {\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)_2^ + + {e^ - } \to \mathrm{Ag}\left( s \right) + \mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3};E_{\mathrm{red}}^ \circ = 0.337\mathrm{V}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Eoxid.∘E_{\mathrm{oxid}\mathrm{.}}^ \circ will increase by a factor of 0.65 from Eoxid.∘E_{\mathrm{oxid}\mathrm{.}}^ \circ
Option A (Eoxid.∘E_{\mathrm{oxid}\mathrm{.}}^ \circ will increase by a factor of 0.65 from Eoxid.∘E_{\mathrm{oxid}\mathrm{.}}^ \circ) is correct because the oxidation potential of glucose increases as the pH increases due to the complexation of Ag+Ag^+ with ammonia.
